​What the is the "Village Workshop"

Our church is passionate about helping people. We are organizing practical, motivating workshops to address life skills and transitions, facilitated by an intergenerational team.  We want to provide meaningful care for the social, physical, vocational, education, and emotional life obstacles people are going through.

You will hear from a diverse panel of speakers who share their perspective on a life challenge. After our speakers share, we open up into a Q&A session where those gathered can interact with the panel and exchange views and information. This helps transform the workshops from lecturing to a real and fruitful learning experience. With multiple speakers, people can better form a holistic perspective of how to face obstacles. While it is easy to find advice and information online, it is hard to find a community who can journey with you.

This event was really great! I was hesiated about coming first, but Im really glad that I did.  I learned lot from the speakers and there were a lot of good questions in the QA session.  The food was great too and free haha! 

Very informative event,  I wish the event was longer because the speakers were really good.

About this EventA career path is rarely a straight, predictable path at all, it will feel more like a winding path of wasted time. We are told that once you know what you are passionate about everything else be magically figure out. The most daunting part can be the struggle to land the first job or juggling multiple jobs while being happy for friends living out their dream jobs.

Come join in on the discussion about practical ways to start or evaluate a meaningful career.

Brad Weisberg, West Valley College Dean of Career Services

Catch up on the stuff that you have missed!

Don’t want to move and leave friends and family? New to the area and unsure if you should have moved here? Affordable rent and home ownership can seem like a fantasy. It can be a minefield full of “I didn’t know that” facts. The process can be intimidating, nerve-wracking, and frustrating. It can also be exciting, and liberating if you have a road map and advocates in your corner. Attend this event to learn best practices from real estate agents and young adult renters/homeowners. Get answers to your questions in the QA session.

Controlling your spending is not always pleasant, but a budget is a key step to living your best life. It is tough to look beyond the next paycheck, but budgeting allows you to save for important quality of life items like your next vacation or vehicle. Budgeting can help you move out of your parents' place, plan a wedding, or get out of debt. We invite you to attend this Village Workshop to move from feeling anxious and overwhelmed about financial planning to feeling confident about reaching your goals.
